Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them , written by A. Rey Pamatmat, directed by Randy Reyes
March 16 – April 1, 2012 at Mixed Blood Theatre

Three kids are all but abandoned on a farm in remote Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go. But when Kenny’s relationship with Benji becomes more than friendship, and Edith shoots something she really shouldn’t shoot, the formerly indifferent outside world comes barging in whether they want it to or not. Contains strong language and sexual content. Recommended for ages 13+.
